This show belongs to the FRINGE WORLD Festival 2026 season. This season is now over.

An acrobat in a black costume soars horizontally through coloured stage fog with arms outstretched, while three performers on the ground look up toward her in anticipation.
A performer sits low on a dim stage, spinning two glowing LED hoops overhead. The motion creates bright circular light trails that hover above them in the dark.
An aerialist hangs upside down inside a suspended metal square, holding flaming torches that burn at each corner against a dark stage lit by blue spotlights.

Glitch

Step into a futuristic world where technology reigns and perfection is the only norm.. until a spark of human unpredictability breaks through the system.

FRINGE WORLD favourites Kinetica are back with jaw-dropping aerials, innovative tech, non-stop action and a stretch of human capabilities that moves from mechanical precision into wild artistic expression.

As flawless synchronisation fractures into courageous individuality, witness the stunning rebellion of human spirit—illuminated by cutting-edge circus and a thumping electronic beat.

Glitch is a visually spectacular celebration of creativity finding freedom, even in a world that tries to control it.
